Nigerian, foreign green pasture seekers, have found themselves submerged in a pool of hot tears, after the UK unemployment rate nosedived to a record 4.5 last week according to Nairametrics this increasing rate of unemployment, is brought about by a downtown in the UK economy, Which has seen a lot of providers lose access to support and is now sure to affect a large number of people.

Immigrating to developed countries can be challenging, especially for individuals who are above 40 years old and already have a job in their home country.

Some Nigerians who have left their jobs in search of better opportunities have regretted their decision, as they may struggle to find relevant jobs due to a lack of qualifications or face discrimination based on their race or immigration status.

There are other challenges to contend with for immigrants such as income inequality, bias in criminal justice, and lack of proper documentation affecting the ability to get proper jobs.

Black immigrants in rich western nations tend to have lower incomes and higher rates of poverty and unemployment compared to other immigrant groups, despite having similar levels of education.

Becoming an ethnic minority in a new country can be traumatic, and discrimination based on features or skin color can be a challenge for many immigrants, especially in social settings such as school.

As technology makes the world smaller, migration among humans has become an inevitable trend; although for the most part, it has been unidirectional over the decades.

For example, in 1970, one in hundred Black Americans was an immigrant, today, they are one in 10 while another one in ten is children of immigrants.

This increase in immigration rates is likely to continue as globalization takes hold and the income disparity between rich and poor countries widens.

Research shows that immigration speeds up usually when countries find themselves in the throes of war, and when there are economic crises. For these two reasons, Immigration to occidental lands has assumed a much faster pace over the last two decades.

Nigeria’s economic woes in the last 8 years have by far made it one of the largest sources of black immigrants in the US, Canada, and the UK. But while more and more Nigerians consider migrating for a better standard of living, experience has shown the grass is often not always greener on the other side, at least not for everyone.

Immigrants’ take
Livinus Pella, a Nigerian-American, told Nairametrics that one’s vulnerability to living in the USA without a social security number starts with the class of visa s/he gets when travelling to that country.

He said with a visitor’s visa, a migrant may not have enough time to stay in the USA and get properly documented. Pella said any visa that is valid for up to four years gives the owner enough time to be adopted in the new country.

Another Nigerian-American, Gbenga Odulaja, who lives in the United Kingdom, implied that migrating to Europe or America should be carefully considered, especially for those past 40 years old who already have a job in Nigeria. According to him, life in life in these countries can be tough, and it may be better to stick to one’s current job in Nigeria. Some Nigerians who have left their jobs in search of greener pastures have regretted their decision.

“I can understand that people want to migrate to Europe and America due to the economic situation back home. However, except you are coming with your spouse with whom you can work together to earn a living, I advise you don’t come, especially if you are past 40 years old.”

“If you are past 40 and already have a job you’re doing in Nigeria, it’s better you stick to it, because life here is tough.” He added that some Nigerians have left their fairly good jobs back home in search of greener pastures and regretted the move.”

It is also important to note that individual experiences can vary widely, and the decision to migrate should be based on a careful evaluation of one’s personal circumstances, including job prospects, education, language skills, and social support networks. However, Odulaja’s comments will resonate with a lot of Nigerians in this age bracket who have struggled to adapt.

Another Nigerian immigrant who spoke to Nairametrics on the condition of anonymity, reveals his regret for migrating at the peak of his career. According to him, he left the country at 44 when the opportunity to exit showed up.

He sold his house, cars, and nearly every asset he had mopping up all the cash he could lay his hands on to give his family a softer landing. However, he had to contend with firesale prices for his assets (since buyers knew he was desperate) getting much lower than he would have received had the buyers not known he was exiting the country.

The biggest challenge was having to climb up the social ladder as a lack of relevant qualifications for highly sought-after jobs, meant he had to settle for menial jobs. At some points, he thought to return to the country but that also meant starting all over again as he had sold his entire assets.

From JAPA to SAPA. Not all that glitters is always gold. No matter what your home country remains your best bet as no where is comforting as home. However, no matter the wicked antics of the useless leaders Nigeria has @ current, this nation can be better if the right fellas are on board.

Highest you’ll suffer a year of underemployment. You’ll eventually get opportunities. Only those who didn’t go through proper channels struggle that way. At that, they still will refuse to come back because they know Nigeria is hopeless.

Sit down in one village in Nigeria and start writing rubbish as news report

If you are a health worker, no problem. You go dey alright las las.

From someone who has not been to an airport before

Some people are happy with this news and it is a reflection of themsleves. They are happy because these people did not succeed, it's nothing else. They are happy at least, the fortune they went to seek did not shine on them in the abroad. So they are at the same level. In this life, you must take some challenges, and some of it is leaving your comfort zone. Even Messi eventually left Spain to USA after CR7 went to major leagues. There is nothing wrong in trying.

The only people I am posting for are those who migrated legally and not those greedy people. Even the greedy people, who knows, it can be a humbling experience for them and God will change their lives forever to be better?

Economy will always go high and low. Weather the storm when it is low, then find opportunities in the dark. Millionaires make their money when the economy tanks, it doesn't last forever. May you see the greenery in the land. May your loved ones back home do well. Don't forget why you japa, keep your eyes on the goal.

Anyone that don't make it abroad can never make it in Nigeria....

it is very very good to travel or migrate to a better place for better opportunities regardless of your age BUT IT IS THE MOST STUPID AND CRAZIEST THING WHICH EVEN THE ANGELS OF GOD WILL NEVER FORGIVE SOMEONE FOR, TO SELL ALL ASSETS, BELONGINGS, AND PROPERTIES ALL TO RELOCATE.ABROAD THAT IS THE HIGHEST ORDER OF MENTAL ILLNESS .
how can you sell everything you have acquired and built up for over 30 years just because you want to go to a white man's land? at the end of the day, the person will get there and start working and saving to buy again similar properties back home at an even higher cost,

Please take it easy o! When you start a petty business or any business in Nigeria or apply for any job in Nigeria no one will ask you for your visa type to see if you have the right to work in Nigeria.

Those who travel through the skills shortage root are the lucky ones as there is a job waiting for them when they arrive. Apart from this route every other route it is only God or what a person believes in and pure luck to get a job as getting a job as an adult over here is based on experience, for the natives it's easy for them to get experience during their studies or after their studies as it's their own country and their government does all they can for young people to have the experience they need for work.

You are right, if I relocate I will make sure my living expenses for a full year is intact and will only relocate via work route or PR basis. Most persons don't plan for their relocation, they just jump on the bandwagon and move. The worst is the illegal migrants, they go through hell, most don't ever have documents to live and work in their host countries

Make we face our small hustle for here be that...

Senior agbadorian is trying to comfort the useless agbadorians on 30k stipends!! Naija na suïcide breeding ground because of some useless oluwale certificate holders.

COMRADES APC's sponsored thread, if you have the means, leave Nigeria

I have had opportunities to travel the the UK, Canada and Australia, but each time I was not keen to travel. Even if I will changey mind to travel, it won't because I want to escape Nigeria shege and sapa. I rather live here and fight for the development of my immediate home and community.
I have many whites as friends on twitter and else where. There is a time bomb waiting to explode someday in the future. Immigrants will be punished very hard for the failure of their countries. The hatred toward African migrants and others is growing, and soon enough it will reach a boiling point. They are blaming migrants for the deploration of their societies.

Why will someone sit down in one house with no light and be writing rubbish about Nigerians abroad.

Traveling abroad is not an Eldorado..just hold ur hustle tight anywhere u find urself

Power of media I guess

Tell the writer of this nonsense that of he no get money to JAPA, make he go become Pastor, idiots and nincompoops will give him their salary every month, then he can use it to JAPA.

Nigerians in UK are not complaining, it is Nigerians in Nigeria that are complaining on behalf of Nigerians in UK, is that not a sign of psychiatric disorders and mental illness?
